How many white folks get killed after committing a strong armed robbery and have White House officials come to their funeral?

I haven't a clue what the first half of that article was about. Liberals take long ways around to make a point. Guess to make You lose interest so They can sneak in the real agenda when no one is looking. Kinda like Obama does.

At some point we need to start smacking these silly liberals down. They cause too many problems in society.

White Privilege:An Insidious Virus That’s Eating America From Within"
By “white privilege,” the writer apparently means that these are the people who have been good at doing things beyond the typical liberal priorities of slutwalks, protesting conservatives, eating cronuts, degrees in grievance studies, abortions for all, bicycling as a social movement, ironic t-shirts, and writing inflammatory articles meant to divide.
So if the author means “all white people automatically succeed” it’s plainly wrong because there are millions of white people who don’t succeed.
So if the author means “all white people have a leg up and that helps them succeed” it’s plainly wrong, because, well, see above the millions of white people who don’t succeed. Also see the huge number of successful non-whites.
So if the author means “some white people have a leg up, depending on their birth order, intelligence, athletic ability, parents’ finances, or other factors” it’s so broad as to be useless as a to measure societal bias as a factor of success.
Never forget that "White Privilege" is a phrase that has no set meaning except for shutting down conversation. In other words, “White Privilege” means “Shut Up, Honky” to end the conversation.
Gawd dawn I hate this whole idea of "White Privilege". Of the factors that contributed to my success, none were race or sex and all were lifestyle choices made by my parents and later by me. Give me the fvcking credit I and my parents deserve for doing the right thing.

I notice in White Privilege discussions, I never get a clear definition. Nor is there any acknowledgement given to personal responsibility
